It doesn't look that way at the moment does it - share price barely reacted to what I reckon is pretty awful news. But then again, it's not as if the company is valued all that highly at approx $6m.
If you read the announcement all of a sudden they are back at the strategy development point, my thoughts are that SP should be back in the teens. The discussions regarding a 'cornerstone investor' that were supposed to happen in March were for a 15,000 bopd ultra clean diesel plant - I don't think those same fish will be interested in a bit of power generation made from straw (not much energy content in straw...) Buying coal from an existing mine? Makes the numbers look worse and you've got to find an appropriate mine, compete for supply with coal hungry Asia. Much less stability then when you are digging up your own coal from your own back yard....
I had such high hopes for SYS, but I fear they were misplaced... If they can overcome the salt content of the coal then I'll be interetsed again, as will the c/s investors, but until then I don't think there's much to see.
